Our Mission
To strengthen the capacity of agencies to respond to the changing needs of children and families through collaboration, advocacy and training
Our Vision
A just and equitable society where children and families thrive
Our Focus
We are a coalition of public, private and non-profit agencies that has worked on behalf of Bermuda’s children and families since 1996. We lead and engage our network to advance policies, best practices and collaborative strategies that result in better outcomes for children, youth and families. In doing so, we strengthen the agencies and professionals that care for and support the well-being of our community. IAC supports helping agencies by:
- providing professional development training that improves helping services
- driving collective advocacy for greater issue awareness and policy change
- facilitating collaboration around important social issues
Our “Why”
Human services are vital to our community. They build community well-being, ensuring everyone can reach their potential and fully contribute to society. This in turns maximizes a community’s potential to thrive and remain vibrant. Well-being is built and human services make sure that everyone in the community keeps doing well socially, mentally, financially, physically, and spiritually. The strength of our human services depends on the strength of the professionals and agencies providing the services. IAC supports and strengthens the service providers to ensure we maximize the well-being and potential of the entire community.
